about

I wake up almost every morning exhausted and thinking, “what are we going to do today?!” I’m a mom of a 3 year old and 10 month old. I don’t like to over schedule activities and have the pressure of trying to get two little kids somewhere at a specific time all day every day. In fact, when we make plans with friends it’s usually to meet at a flexible time range. You never know what’s going to happen when you say it’s time to get ready. Anyway, that leaves a lot of time each day that I want to do something fun and exciting with my kiddos! But back to the problem- at night I’m usually so tired that I crash without planning activities for the following day so I found myself writing a list of things to do when they came to me. I started thinking, not only would it be great to catalog my ideas and other ideas I come across, but maybe other moms might be interested in using the list or even contributing! So if you’re a mom like me, trying to do the best you can do for your kids but sometimes feeling tapped out, I hope you find this site helpful. I will try to make my posts general enough to apply no matter where you live, but also give specifics with links to places in the Chicago area.
